The 2025 Interdisciplinary Aortic Dissection Symposium (IADS) is set to be a key event for professionals dedicated to advancing care in aortic dissection. This one-day meeting offers a platform to explore current evidence, debate evolving practices, and share experience in managing this complex condition.
IADS 2025 will once again convene a distinguished faculty of international experts and frontline clinicians. Vascular and cardiothoracic surgeons, interventional radiologists, anaesthetists, intensivists, and allied health professionals will gather to strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration and deepen understanding across the care pathway. With a strong educational focus, the symposium is designed to support innovation and drive improvements in patient outcomes.
Programme Highlights Include:

Aortic Dissection Data in England: Arun Pherwani will present data from the National Consultant Information Programme, offering valuable insights into national trends, outcomes, and service variation in aortic dissection care.
-
Personalised Medicine in Dissection Care: Tara Mastracci will explore how personalised medicine is transforming the management of aortic dissection, with a focus on current strategies and future potential.
-
Managing Complicated Dissections: Professor Germano Melissano will deliver a session on emergent interventions for complicated dissection, highlighting diagnostic approaches and the strategic use of advanced technologies.
- EARNEST Trial Progress: Professor Colin Bicknell will present an update from the EARNEST trial, which evaluates the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of TEVAR in comparison to standard medical management. The charity continues to support patient and public involvement in this landmark study.
This symposium is a vital opportunity for clinicians to engage with current research, refine practice through peer learning, and help shape the future of aortic dissection care.
